debka has their ear to the ground and they are right more than they are wrong, though often written sensationally. Their reports, that is. Their predictions are less reliable, no surprise. They have consistently given me a better and yes, more reliable picture of what was going on in the field than the New York Times, and I say that with hindsight, having read both their coverage. The NYT is saying only now, wow, our special forces were in Iraq for months, preventing Saddam's followers from wreaking havoc. Debka told me about it at the time. Of course, why should you care if debka is often right or if Fisk wouldn't know a fact if it bit him? Fisk's tone of perpetual outrage (only at evil Westerners, natch, the poor wogs are never to blame) suits you to a T.
